Re your impending review of “Mr Wallace’s fascinating views on the Afghanistan conflict”….

….undoubtedly a lot less “fascinating” than those recently espoused about Afghanistan by ex-Ambassador Craig Murray, who stood in the cold outside the law faculty at Cambridge University, having been banned by the latter institution from delivering his talk inside:

Syd, it’s too depressing. Wallace-like views get national air time, the likes of Craig’s do not.

And for us in USA, 80+ Helen Thomas, hardly a radical herself, except in contrast to her majority, extreme-right wing MSM colleagues and countrymen, is still plugging away as exemplified at the Jan 26, 2009, White House press bull, oops, briefing:

http://www.whitehousepresscorps.org/2009/01/01-26-09_WH_Press_Briefing.pdf

Q [Helen]: Why is the President sending more troops….wants to send more troops to Afghanistan to kill people?

Gibbs: In the campaign, the President talked about the fact that we’d largely taken our eye off the ball in Afghanistan and moved direct resources to Iran — I’m sorry, to Iraq, to fight there. We’ve seen in that intervening time a significant deterioration in the situation in Afghanistan and along the border. I think the President has said that many of the people, or the same people that planned terror attacks in this country, are alive and well, likely, in those hills, planning more. And that if….

Q (Helen): Do you — how do you know that?

Gibbs: That’s told to me and to many of the American people through intelligence reports and good reporting. The President has started a process, with Secretary Gates, with the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with military commanders in the individual countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the wider region, to evaluate our posture as it relates to Afghanistan. He said during the campaign that we ought to move additional troops to Afghanistan….

Q (Helen): Why?

Gibbs: Because we have a very dangerous situation there. Because we’ve got, as I said, terrorists that planned horrific acts here in 2001….

Q (not Helen): ….come here and bomb us?

Gibbs: ….likely planning — likely planning again. We’re going to ensure the safety of the American people and make sure Afghanistan doesn’t deteriorate any further.
